Grand National Meeting; GN/Masters Doubles.

Not looked at the Masters yet but is McIlroy really 6/1 ?
Who’s backing him at that price ?

I stopped backing him years and years ago

I'd probably still rather he won than whoever I back though.

He has been on fire though winning at pebble and the players

he's the form player in world golf

I'd only back him in a major again If he actually wins one. He wins one i expect a couple more to follow quickly. He has to get over the mental block in the majors especially the Masters.

Yeah I’d love to see him win majors again, thoroughly admire his stance against LIV.
He is the form player from the tour but assuming LIV players can fight their way through the $100 bill mountain in their homes I’m sure there’ll be some strong challengers from there, 6/1 just looks too short…

They have to be defensive on him i guess because of who he is and he will attract by far the most bets

Think a mixture of a few things with it mainly being the one missing for the grand slam! I'm not sure if bookies have much liabilities on him from certain people who may have done him to win them all in his career from years ago (albeit they have probably won that back with punters chasing it over the years) he has a strong following and unfortunately people will back him at that price, far too short, but being from Northern Ireland i would love him to do it, just wouldn't back him at that price!

Hi all, first time posting after years of being an armchair viewer of this excellent forum.

I’ve been looking at the National and wondering if duffle coat could be the e/w poke if he sneaks in? He’s 43 on the list. May not have proven class just yet but was running a cracker in the NH chase when brought down 3 out. These fences may help as not always the most fluent. Still only 8, races prominent and may have improvement in him.

Otherwise, I can’t help being drawn to Stumptown after his Cheltenham win. Clearly progressive and fits a fair few trends. Also willing to forgive Broadway boy for being impacted by the standing start at the ultima. The form with kandoo kid looks good and gets a decent swing at the weights.

…welcome to the group.

Duffle Coat certainly looks well in with my selection Senior Chief on their running last spring. I suppose the doubt is him getting in given only 34 runners this year and he’s 43 on the list, be close but we love 100-1 shouts.

Edit; L’Homme Presse out, so there’s one less.

No love for Hewick from anyone?

I have both him & Minella Indo covered from a while back as both seemed very over priced based on back form and they've both been aimed at the race this season.

….another who’s odds look to have had a haircut these last few days.

I like senior chief also, my only slight concern was his run when PU in the Irish national. Appreciate it was on heavy, but has previous form on the ground. Will be sure to cover.

Definitely interesting if he gets in

My issue with stumptown is those cross country handicaps are full of old regressive horses and this is a lot lot more competitive

I'd expect him to place if he gets luck in running it's just whether there's something with 8-10lb in hand lurking that he won't be able to beat
